Q
What are the differences between the old BBFC X Version and the Uncut Version?
A
In Great Britain the movie was released on tape in the early 1980s and was rated X, what said the movie was not suitable for youth below 18. Until 1982 the X certificate existed and was replaced by the 18 certificate of the BBFC. This X Rated Version was slightly censord, missing approx. 2 seconds of footage. Later on an uncensored DVD Version was released as well and a detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
